FB has me connected to people I actually know. :)

QL offers a better platform for discussions and opinions since the inhibitions are less because of anonymity. :)

So yeah, oranges and apples.

Finally, attract people to like your side by offering assistance. you can make a website for fb status hallway page with a make known button that contains content that is only able to be seen to fans of your side.

Nabunabeed, Well comparison of 850 million users to may 50k users.. and there is a big difference between both, you can't compare then at first point,

Qatar Living is an online community for everyone living in or interested in the State of Qatar

While Facebook is for the whole world,

Ok QL rating in local Market is 5.8... :)

that s pretty cool you rated FB-6 n QL-8..??

By FathimaH• 24 Apr 2012 00:05
FathimaH

At least on QL some guy from my buddies' buddy list doesn't get automatically added to my list, with the message: "so and so has accepted...." Er...accepted? I never sent a request!!

One of the many reasons why I eschewed FB a year or so back..privacy setting? What a joke!

And on QL its "Buddy List" .. BIG DIFFERENCE !!

Like staying anonymous and like to read about people complaining and crying for the all kinds of reason.LC cut in front ,Someone cuts in que at cashier counter,Not enough night clubs.Translating their own personal experiences into a issue of national concern here.

Love the few QLers who are here to have fun ,have the knack for bringing in much needed humour on the forum.

ql is far better than fb...ql is usefull to many and in my opinion fb wasting time for many.....no headahes and there is moderators they don allow people to go over limit...but should be more flexible also..

How can you compare the two? QL has virtual friends, although some are lucky enough to make it to our real friends list on FB....

By Lady in black• 8 Apr 2012 19:51
Lady in black

FB and QL both are different in many ways as already said by other QL'ers...The biggest difference what I believe is that your identity is hidden here on QL while on FB all your friends know u (except someone adds strangers)...

CL- Why don't u tell us what's your FB ID as many girls on QL are using FB :P and BTW when u have girlfriend why u r always flirting with other girls ?? Its definitely not a good thing to do..

By anonymous• 8 Apr 2012 19:25
anonymous

i am sure ur not, but the comments ur receiving are giving an impression of what i said,

hey there captain, how are u? miss u all guys.....captain! hows the ship going? hope good, well i am not sure about me but tell me about u? did u? i saw u were begging for girls FB id......... :-)

anyways stay cool, in hot weather u will see itwill work.

the main point here is u can not trust people here as u know nothing about anyof them? and thats the worst part of it, i mean why be anonymous? hiding ur self, and when the same happens in Muslims culture (Wearing hijab), people out there say conservative and all, they are backward and stuff like that...................all what i am saying is make some sense of keep quite, but in eitherway be happy have fun life is short live it, with or without women

Masrejiiii......i am not comparing Fb with Ql literally....just wanna say that being here in Qatar, Ql helps us to discuss issues within us and have a pool of friends here in the same atmosphere, not like discussing bans in US and status in UK

By Captain_Lost• 8 Apr 2012 17:39

MASTER UBC.. you have a VALID reason not to like QL .. you "hopped" in this pool like a fool.. :D

Wow! Fb has no comparison in anyway with QL, comon, beside this, i remember when i hop in this pool people remind me that this is QL not social networking website blabla, and even that i said, it is or have a concept of it accept it or not, but anyways glad to see all those people or some of them are here commenting and comparing it............what a Hyp.......anyways......FB is far more better then this for sure, the one big difference is, this is pool of strangers u never know who ur talking to or even the advise is sincere or not anyways, good luck for those who consider it to be compared in anyway with FB, that guy is genius.fellow wakeup.......

I think its better that QL Doesn't have "Likes", it makes people comment or say something.. rather than just hitting "Like" button :)

QL is under supervision of MOD, FB is not

but overall i like QL more than FB

Personally, I like FB better than QL

Why?

FB

PROS:

- not limited to people who are living in Qatar only

- they keep you in the loop with what's happening with family and friends

- shows the real identity of your friends (or even other people that just simply added you there.)

- you put a face on people who are bashing your post

- it's your virtual photo album and virtual diary

CONS:

- I CANNOT USE IT BECAUSE I HAVE MY BOSS' ON MY FRIENDS LIST! DUHHH! Lol

-Prone to gossip and rumors

I think you can do that pretty well on FBook. And you CAN upload pictures already. But imagine: no one really wants to show who they are.
